If you have a chance to watch the Democracy Now show, do.
Some of those kids may have done some shitty things. Now
at least one of them is dead.

I wish there were the consciousness in families and communities
to deal with these things in a way that's effective -- not in ways
that merely punish, but to heal the sickness that causes people
to do such things.
